The New Brunswick Physiotherapy Association (NBPA)
The New Brunswick Physiotherapy Association (NBPA) provides leadership and direction to members in New Brunswick and supports the mission of the CPA to foster excellence in practice, education and research and promote high standards of health in Canada.
As primary health care professionals, physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability.
With your independence in mind, a physiotherapist’s goal is to restore, maintain and maximize your strength, function, movement and overall well-being.
In order to practice in Canada, physiotherapists must be registered with the regulatory board or college of physiotherapists in their province/territory. Only those who are registered may use the professional designations PT in Canada.
Our Mission
New Brunswickers are moving, moving more and moving better with the help of physiotherapy.
We Value:
- The integration of evidence, clinical reasoning and therapeutic skills in practice
- Accountability to members, stakeholders and the public
- Unity of the profession across the province
- Fair and democratic governance
- Meaningful, cooperative partnerships
- Proactive behaviour and innovation
- The richness of New Brunswick diversity
- Clear and concise communication
The NBPA strives to achieve excellence in three priority areas: value for members, excellence in practice, and appreciation of the benefits of physiotherapy.
Volunteering with the association over the last 8 years has been very valuable. I have learned a lot about the inner workings of the Physiotherapy profession and the importance of advocacy and having a strong unified voice. We are stronger when we stand and work together.
